Chapter Summaries

Feng Jun brought mining machines to Zhengyang, but left after a question about the Energy Stones prompted him to confront Lin Beauty over repeated probing. After completing Divinations and guarding Yun Buyao’s breakthrough, he returned to the Insectoid World, where Yan Yuxi explained that several True Immortals had gone to investigate the red giant’s direction.

• Feng Jun showed Lin Beauty and the experts two mining machines, and an elderly expert recognized that they were designed to operate under supergravity.
• Feng Jun demonstrated the Energy Block converter and left after an expert asked where the Energy Stones came from and Lin Beauty failed to prevent the question.
• Lin Beauty and her superior realized Feng Jun had noticed their test involving Good Scenery, but he had left Luo Hua before she could contact him two days later.
• Feng Jun visited Liba Beach, completed three days of Divinations, and guarded Yun Buyao through her breakthrough to the eighth layer of Qi Condensation.
• Feng Jun returned to the Insectoid World and found the cultivators had discovered additional mine shafts.
• Yan Yuxi told Feng Jun that True Immortal Nishang and several other True Immortals had gone to investigate the red giant’s direction.

Feng Jun learned that True Immortals from Xuanhuang and Yuangang had joined the mining expedition, while He Runxian used Hesheng’s newly delivered supplies to support the besieged production base and resist pressure from the Military Intelligence Directorate. The lieutenant colonel left without a firm promise, and He Runxian still had not set a deadline for the medicines.

• Feng Jun confirmed that five True Immortals, including members of Xuanhuang and Yuangang, had gone mining, easing his concern about Fishing Elder blaming him.
• He Runxian distributed food from headquarters to Hesheng employees, whose benefits attracted buyers but prompted almost no one to sell.
• He Runxian delayed giving medicines to the military and told headquarters the brokers’ transport capacity was limited, while He Huiqing supported his concealment.
• He Runxian reopened the residential cafeteria to employees and their families, and Hesheng security rejected the lieutenant colonel’s request to feed nearby patrol members.
• He Runxian offered to let the military guard or take over the factory after the lieutenant colonel announced an extended patrol, then warned that excessive pressure could leave the military without medicines.

He Huiqing tried to resist Left Capital's demands for more medicine and refugees, while discovering that Hesheng's confidential supply arrangements had likely leaked. Feng Jun watched the dispute unfold and arrived after the government threatened to send people to Hesheng's base.

• He Huiqing donated medicine to the Left Capital government and military, but officials suspected Hesheng had hidden supplies and demanded more help for the city.
• He Huiqing refused to provide additional medicine or take in refugees, and warned that Hesheng would destroy or relocate its production base rather than surrender it by force.
• A Left Capital official revealed knowledge of Hesheng's remaining medicine, leading He Huiqing to suspect that information had leaked from Hesheng headquarters.
• He Huiqing went to the production base and discussed the leak and the city's demands with He Runxian, then urged He Runhua to contact their broker for another supply deal.
• Feng Jun observed the situation for three days before the local government issued Hesheng an ultimatum, threatening to send people to assist in defending the base unless Hesheng handed over the medicine.

He Runxian reopened negotiations with Feng Jun after Hesheng was ordered to assist with defense, securing a deal for mining equipment and exploring ways to supply medicine. He Huiqing then confronted Left Capital’s authorities over the defense order and medical shortages, but the city demanded Hesheng deliver supplies within two months.

• He Runxian called Feng Jun, who agreed to buy 106 mining units after Hesheng offered to handle inconvenient tasks and charge triple shipping fees.
• He Runxian agreed to provide a 400,000 deposit that night, with pickup planned in five days, and He Huiqing suggested arranging a field hospital.
• He Huiqing told Left Capital’s authorities that Hesheng would withdraw its employees if the defense order stood, then discussed how soon the company could provide medicine.
• The authorities demanded medical supplies within two months and offered tax credits for donations, but He Huiqing dismissed the offer and raised the possibility of selling medicine on the black market.
• He Huiqing insisted that if Hesheng provided the same amount as before, the authorities would owe the company nothing further.

Feng Jun completed another large trade with Hesheng, brought medical supplies and mining equipment across the planes, and recruited more cultivators for work in the Insectoid World. Back in Luo Hua, he asked Li Shishi to help translate the field hospital materials.

• He Huiqing warned the Left Capital official not to expect further support, while the official promised to speak up for Hesheng; that night Feng Jun used the Rain-Praying Array as He Runxian awaited word about the shipment.
• Feng Jun confirmed the delivery of four hundred thousand tons of Energy Stones, then placed a new order for medicines and finished translating most of the field hospital manual.
• Feng Jun collected more than eight hundred containers from a hidden warehouse, delivered mining machines on the major planet, and answered Two Sects cultivators who asked for more equipment.
• Feng Jun transported medicines and medical equipment through the Icefield Plane and Xingzheng Star, then announced more Insectoid World slots for True Adepts who had someone to vouch for them.
• Feng Jun returned to Luo Hua with a high-tech field hospital and two open-pit mining machines, then asked Li Shishi to translate some materials.

Feng Jun negotiated with Lin Beauty over transporting a mining machine and accepted additional land in Chaoyang, then asked her to investigate whether he could establish a natural village to make the land permanent. He revealed that he had brought back two large items and was ready to move them to a location she chose.

• Feng Jun assigned Li Shishi to translate the medicines’ instructions while he delayed giving the medicines to Lin Beauty for safety.
• Lin Beauty repeatedly visited Feng Jun, then blocked his entrance and argued with Yin Mingyue until Feng Jun came out to confront her.
• Lin Beauty asked Feng Jun to transport a mining machine, and he requested more mountain land; she told him that over ninety-four square kilometers had already been arranged for him.
• Feng Jun considered asking for a much larger tract but decided his current land was enough, then asked Lin Beauty to investigate turning it into permanent collective village land.
• Feng Jun told Lin Beauty to arrange a private location for the transport and revealed that he had brought back two large items.

Feng Jun delivered open-pit mining equipment to a remote Xichuan base and gave Lin Beauty materials on future field hospitals. After Lin Beauty returned to Cultural Town, Yang Yuxin pressed her to share a copy with Xichuan’s medical community, leaving Lin Beauty to pass the request to her superiors.

• Feng Jun refused Lin Beauty’s request to help translate the medical materials, explaining that he would organize the alien language later when conditions were more suitable.
• Feng Jun showed Lin Beauty the open-pit mining equipment, then traveled to a mountain base in Xichuan and demonstrated three mining machines to experts.
• Feng Jun gave Lin Beauty a USB drive containing practical materials on future field hospitals and told her to familiarize experts with the concepts and methods.
• Lin Beauty reported the new materials, and officials arranged for her to travel by helicopter as Xichuan medical leaders tried to stop the aircraft and obtain the information.
• After Lin Beauty returned to Cultural Town, Yang Yuxin asked her to provide Xichuan with a copy of the medical materials, and Lin Beauty said only her superiors could decide.

Experts from Funiu, Xichuan, and a Military Medical University reviewed the handbook and questioned Lin Beauty about its medical claims and the equipment Feng Jun had obtained. The discussion was interrupted when Professor Guan learned that his eighty-eight-year-old grandaunt had suffered a cerebral infarction, and he urgently asked Lin Beauty to find out whether nanorobots could help her.

• Experts from Funiu and Xichuan reviewed the USB material, but Lin Beauty refused to let them take copies and required them to sign confidentiality agreements.
• Researchers from a Military Medical University and its affiliated hospital joined the investigation, and all three parties found no major problems with the handbook.
• After experts pressed her about the handbook, Lin Beauty confirmed that limb regeneration was not merely a prediction and disclosed that some equipment and medicine had been obtained, though screening would take a long time.
• Professor Guan received word that his eighty-eight-year-old grandaunt had suffered a cerebral infarction, with treatment delayed beyond the thrombolysis window.
• Professor Guan asked whether nanorobots could clear her blood clot, and Lin Beauty promised to investigate whether similar equipment was available.

Professor Guan asked Luo Hua to use Nanorobots to treat his great-aunt’s cerebral infarction, and Feng Jun agreed to consider it if Guan offered a sincere gesture. Lin Beauty explained Luo Hua’s expectations, but Guan struggled to think of anything he could offer.

• Professor Guan urged Lin Beauty to contact Luo Hua and promised to repay her if they helped his great-aunt.
• Feng Jun contacted Lin Beauty through Divine Sense, said his Nanorobots could clear cerebral-infarction blood clots, and asked what Guan would offer as medical fees.
• Lin Beauty told Professor Guan that Luo Hua needed a gesture of Heart-Intention because he had disrupted their plans and could not expect them to respond to every request.
• Professor Guan speculated about Luo Hua’s motives, and Lin Beauty explained that Luo Hua was wealthy and provided care as a form of social responsibility.
• Professor Guan understood that sincerity mattered more than the value of the offer, but said his medical skill was all he had to give.

Feng Jun arranged for Li Shishi to use Nanorobots to treat Professor Guan’s elderly grandaunt in Luo Hua, while medical experts observed the procedure. After the clot dissolved overnight, Professor Guan asked Li Shishi to help address further risks, but a blood test revealed an unexpectedly low white blood cell count.

• Feng Jun brought the necessary equipment from Mairui Country and gave Li Shishi the Nanorobots’ operating instructions.
• Professor Guan arranged for his grandaunt to travel to Zhengyang, and Feng Jun approved the medical experts observing her treatment.
• Li Shishi used the equipment in a villa courtyard, with an expert administering an intravenous injection and Professor Guan choosing level-two treatment intensity.
• The Nanorobots dissolved the old lady’s blood clot overnight, and Li Shishi agreed to help regulate her condition after Boss gave permission.
• Professor Guan examined his grandaunt before the conditioning treatment and was alarmed to find her white blood cell count below one thousand.

Professor Guan sought help from Feng Jun for his grandaunt’s weakened immunity, and Feng Jun chose a low-risk inducer after weighing its effects. The chapter ended with Professor Guan receiving fifty capsules and other experts asking to buy some.

• Professor Guan asked Li Shishi to pass along his request for treatment of his grandaunt’s weakened immunity, and he sent Feng Jun a damaged Han-era stone stele as a gift.
• Feng Jun examined the options and chose an inducer that stimulated granulocyte production, judging it safer for the old woman than a genetic drug.
• Feng Jun gave Li Shishi fifty free capsules and told her that Professor Guan would have to pay for any more.
• Professor Guan planned to give his grandaunt two capsules and assess the results after three days, while Li Shishi warned him about her calcified spots.
• A Military Medical University expert asked Professor Guan to sell him five capsules, but Professor Guan refused to give them up.

Feng Jun investigated an ancient broken stele, allowed Avril to visit the Cultivation Courtyard, and supplied White Blood Cell Inducer to Yang Yuxin. In the Insectoid World, He Runxian asked him to transport Pioneer Bank's cargo to Xingzheng Star for a ninety-percent shipping fee.

• Feng Jun failed to identify the broken stele, then agreed to let Avril visit the Cultivation Courtyard after Sophia brought her to Luo Hua.
• Feng Jun gave Yang Yuxin ten thousand White Blood Cell Inducer tablets for the elderly patients who wanted to buy them.
• He Runxian struggled to manage wealthy clients seeking transport to Hesheng after Left Capital publicized the donated medicine in Left Dragon City.
• Feng Jun questioned He Runxian about his repeated calls, and He Runxian asked if Feng Jun had ties to Pioneer Bank.
• He Runxian offered Feng Jun a Pioneer Bank transport job that would pay him ninety percent of the cargo in exchange for delivering the rest to Xingzheng Star.

Feng Jun negotiated with He Runxian over Pioneer Bank’s offer and rejected buying weapons, instead requesting a White Blood Cell Proliferation Inducer production line and setting strict conditions for the deal. Pioneer Bank agreed to deliver in the Dumbbell Galaxy but demanded a meeting, and Feng Jun’s limits left negotiations tense.

• Feng Jun refused He Runxian’s offer to connect him with Pioneer Bank and rejected buying weapons after He Runxian raised wartime security concerns.
• Feng Jun requested a production line and raw materials for White Blood Cell Proliferation Inducer, and He Runxian agreed to arrange them.
• Feng Jun insisted he would deal only through He Runxian, collect goods in the Dumbbell Galaxy, and avoid meeting Pioneer Bank.
• He Runxian told Feng Jun that Pioneer Bank had agreed to the delivery location but wanted a meeting over the million tons of cargo.
• Feng Jun limited the shipment to five hundred thousand tons, offered to transport only fifty thousand tons, required Pioneer Bank to provide the production line, and refused to meet them.
• President Bell objected to the reduced shipment and insisted that his assistant meet Feng Jun’s partner for negotiations.

Feng Jun returned from the Void with Venerable Luan Xiong’s findings of seven additional Shattered Stone Belts, then resumed business as the Insect Race launched a major assault on Left Capital. As Hesheng prepared for the fighting, He Runxian revealed that President Bell was willing to pay Feng Jun one hundred million Federation Credits to transport him away.

• President Bell failed to pressure He Runxian through He Huiqing and muttered that He Runxian would regret using him as a stepping stone.
• Feng Jun reentered the Void, where Venerable Luan Xiong returned with seven newly discovered Shattered Stone Belts to divide with him.
• Feng Jun brought everyone out of the Void, collected his commissions, and returned to Liba Beach before heading back to the Insectoid World.
• Feng Jun heard that the Insect Race was attacking Left Capital and that Hesheng’s production base had repelled an assault with its replenished Energy Blocks.
• He Runxian asked Feng Jun to bring food and medicine, while Feng Jun agreed to take Hesheng’s mining machines and requested a production line.
• He Runxian told Feng Jun that President Bell had offered one hundred million Federation Credits for transport out of the danger zone.

Feng Jun agreed to transport goods for He Runxian as the Insect Race attacks intensified, while a massive Energy Stone shipment at Hesheng's production base drew military attention. After the military offered arms orders in exchange for equivalent-value Energy Stones, He Runxian and He Huiqing disagreed over how much Hesheng should commit.

• Feng Jun said he would help transport Pioneer Bank's goods and guarantee their safe delivery, and He Runxian arranged full payment.
• Feng Jun deposited 2.4 million tons of Energy Stones at Hesheng's production base, where an Insect Race probing attack began during the rain.
• A military drone investigated Hesheng's base, but a Bristle Worm shot it down as other drones spotted the Energy Stones in the storage yard.
• The Military Intelligence Directorate considered requisitioning the Energy Stones but instead contacted Hesheng with arms orders tied to purchases of equivalent-value Energy Stones.
• He Runxian proposed committing only 500,000 tons to preserve the base's reserves, while He Huiqing argued that Hesheng should accept orders worth two million tons.

Feng Jun expanded the mining workforce, delivered Energy Stone and supplies, and discovered Pioneer Bank had secretly tagged some cargo. As the war stayed fierce, he brought Hesheng’s food and medicine to Xingzheng Star, where He Runxian confronted him over leaving Pioneer Bank’s goods behind.

• He Huiqing and He Runxian compromised on negotiating an initial order for one million tons of military goods, while Feng Jun learned from Fishing Elder True Immortal that the Human Race was losing ground and received fifty more slots.
• At the Dumbbell Galaxy, Feng Jun found surveillance teams tracking the cargo and faint signals on Pioneer Bank’s crates, captured the observers, and left Pioneer Bank’s goods untouched.
• Feng Jun selected seventy-five True Adepts and three True Immortals, delivered them and equipment to the major planet, and carried nearly ten billion tons of mined Energy Stone to the passage entrance.
• Feng Jun brought another hundred True Adepts from the Two Sects to the major planet, then traveled to Xingzheng Star as the production base endured Insect Race attacks and suffered mech losses.
• Feng Jun contacted He Runxian with Hesheng’s food and medicine, and He Runxian asked why he had left Pioneer Bank’s goods behind when the bank suspected He Runxian of targeting it.

Feng Jun arranged for Hesheng’s goods to be stored under a raised dome after accusing Pioneer Bank of putting trackers on cargo. He Runxian warned President Bell that Feng Jun had witnesses and physical evidence, leaving Bell fearful of what would happen next.

• Feng Jun told He Runxian that President Bell had arranged for trackers to be installed on cargo containers and said eight people were in his hands.
• He Runxian said Hesheng had no suitable alternative warehouse, so Feng Jun agreed to store its goods in the yard with the dome raised.
• The production base warned everyone to stay away from No. 3 Storage Yard and not discuss the raised dome.
• After midnight, Feng Jun entered the storage yard and unloaded one hundred thousand tons of food and medicine before notifying He Runxian.
• After inspecting the goods, He Runhua called President Bell, and He Runxian confronted him about the trackers and the danger to Hesheng’s cargo.
• He Runxian told Bell that Feng Jun had witnesses and physical evidence, and Bell worried about how many of the eight people would survive.

After Feng Jun dropped two Dumbbell Galaxy operatives at Bell’s villa, President Bell and President Yin tried to contain the fallout and negotiate with He Runxian. He Runxian refused to arrange contact or promise safe passage, leaving Pioneer Bank’s leadership to handle the crisis through Hesheng’s channels.

• He Runxian cut off President Bell’s call and warned him he would no longer handle Pioneer Bank’s goods.
• Feng Jun dropped two operatives at Bell’s villa, where the guards shot them, and Bell learned that eight people had gone missing.
• Bell contacted He Runqing and President Yin, but both denied knowing about the goods and the missing operatives.
• President Yin threatened He Huiqing over Hesheng’s political ambitions and illegal mining-equipment sales, then contacted He Runxian through a private line.
• He Runxian refused President Yin’s appeals for compromise, suggesting Bell resign and warning that only one or two of the eight missing people might survive.
• President Yin decided to contact his superior and pursue the matter through Hesheng’s channels, and his superior scolded him for the careless scheme.

Feng Jun consulted Fishing Elder about the cultivators’ plan to lure Insect Race members while mining, and Fishing Elder approved opening a Second Battlefield. Feng Jun then contacted He Runxian about the production line, learning Pioneer Bank still wanted to cooperate.

• Xia Nishang and the other True Immortals told Feng Jun they wanted to use Energy Stones to lure Insect Race members and kill them, while Feng Jun raised concerns about mining safety and the True Adepts’ consent.
• Feng Jun went to Fishing Elder and explained the plan; Fishing Elder approved it as a way to train the Human Race and open a Second Battlefield.
• Fishing Elder gave Feng Jun an Obsidian token and told him to transport another group of True Immortals and True Adepts, while Feng Jun jokingly asked about his transportation fee.
• Feng Jun went near Hesheng and called He Runxian to ask about the production line; He Runxian said Pioneer Bank still wanted to cooperate with him.

Feng Jun negotiated with Pioneer Bank through He Runxian, then released six captives in a way that left the bank facing a damaging scandal. He still intended to pursue Bell, but remained open to trading with Pioneer Bank if it showed enough sincerity.

• He Runxian told Feng Jun that Pioneer Bank would offer military hardware, apologize, provide compensation, and ask for the six captives’ release; Feng Jun rejected the banquet and asked about the weapon costs.
• The six captives appeared in the Dumbbell Galaxy, where five were dead from anesthetic overdoses and the Pioneer Bank fund’s deputy director was unconscious but alive.
• Pioneer Bank took control of the case and tried to suppress the circumstances, while the detective agency and the dead men’s families demanded answers.
• Feng Jun told He Runxian that the survivor’s ties to Pioneer Bank would make life difficult for him and the bank, and admitted he still planned to deal with Bell eventually.
• He Runxian asked whether Feng Jun would continue trading with Pioneer Bank, and Feng Jun said business could proceed if the bank was sincere.
